I can't connect to the Internet--Firewall issue
Hello,
I'd appreciate if anybody can help me with this problem.
I have a dell inspiron 1300 notebook that came loaded with McAfee. The McAfee has expired, and I plan to put in Norton Antivirus as soon as I can connect successfully to the web to download it..
I've disabled the spamkiller and the firewall on McAfee, and also the Windows firewall. Nevertheless, I can't get online.
I'm running it behind a linksys router. I know the router works ok because I am writing this message from another desktop pc hanging on another port of the router.
My browser on the laptop ran a diagnostic test and told me that ports 80 http, 21 FTP, and 443 HTTPS are blocked, indicating that there is a firewall issue.
When I ping other sites, all is ok. Under Control Panel, Network connections, I see that my Local Area Connection is connected.
Is there possibly another firewall somewhere? How do I find it? Might McAfee be blocking my internet connection even though it is disabled?
No Events found!
